Magic Confident They Will Have Plenty of Options With Fifth Pick

May 20, 2015

ORLANDO – Contrary to the apocalyptic headlines emanating from Wednesday’s New York tabloids, the basketball world is not coming to an end. For the teams that failed to snag one of the top two spots in Tuesday’s NBA Draft Lottery – namely the Orlando Magic and also the New York Knicks – life will go on just fine following the June 25th NBA Draft.

The Magic, which came into the lottery with the fifth-best odds and held firm at the No. 5 pick in the draft, can take solace in that fact because of their history of drafting well in recent years.
